VŠPJ shines blue again this year

VŠPJ has been supporting the campaign since 2019, when it illuminated the front of a historic building on Tolstého Street in blue on this occasion. During the year of watch the campaign, there were restrictions on freedom of movement due to the COVID-19 pandemic which would prevent many people from seeing the blue building in person at nighttime. Therefore, VŠPJ decided to light up their website in blue, where people could visit at any time of the day or night without any restrictions. The blueýtí website of the highé školy also in thisšní year, on Saturday April 2, i.e. on Worldý dayý šení awarenessí about autism.

The colá that was made from their „blue photos“ will be decorated as úwaterí photo ná &scaron until the end of April; officialální Facebooký profile,“ uvádí spokeswomaná šcolla Vendula Marešová. Commonlyé blueé objects did not get in front of theá lens. „We wanted to repeatedly point out howý iný we know má what upá rá we pay attention to. When you focus on the blue, you suddenly see it at everyéé&each&step. Likewise, it is only when you direct your attention to people with autism that you will discover how commoná this disorder is and how to support autistic people so that they can live full lives and enrich society with theirá originalá and uniqueá world.“
